Portland, OR... Jordan Ramis PC is pleased to announce that four of the firm's attorneys were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® 2012 (Copyright 2011 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, S.C.).

Since its inception in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers "the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice."

Managing shareholder Steve Shropshire has been recognized for his natural resources law and water law practice. Attorney Tim Ramis has been recognized for his land use and zoning law and real estate law practice. Attorney Chris Reive has been recognized for his environmental law and litigation practice. Attorney Leta Gorman, who joined Jordan Ramis PC in May, has been recognized for her product liability litigation practice.
